A little bit about me

I previously lived in Alabama and I’ve just relocated to Columbus, Ohio about a couple months ago. I’m now searching for a full time nanny job! My hourly rate is $15-$25 and I’m willing to start as soon as possible. I'm very flexible and reliable and my schedule is wide open so i'm extremely available. I have worked with kids all my life and enjoy it very much. I’ve attended a ministry school in birmingham and worked in youth ministry as a children’s director, so I'm very familiar with how to entertain and keep children. I also have worked in the nursery with children between the ages of 2 months up to 13 years old, so I have about 4-5 years of experience. I'm very high in energy and able to keep up. Look forward to hearing from you!

A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Emery Artis, I’m 21 years old, and I have three years of hands-on childcare experience. I started my journey working as a teacher’s assistant at a daycare, where I discovered just how much I love working with children of all ages.
Caring for kids brings me so much joy, whether it’s playing, doing fun learning activities, or simply being there to support their daily needs. I believe every child deserves patience, creativity, and a nurturing environment to help them grow and feel loved.
I’m also currently expecting my first little one, and I couldn’t be more excited! This new chapter has made me even more passionate about supporting other families and helping children thrive.
If you’re looking for someone caring, reliable, and genuinely devoted to children’s happiness and development, I’d love to connect with you!

A little bit about me

Hello! I'm 20 years old and just moved here from Utah! I was nannying for a couple years and worked in a daycare for 9 months right before moving out here. I am first aide and CPR certified and can provide both documents as well as my background check. As far as my stronger traits go, I'm extremely outgoing and very patient. I am very much so a people person and I adore working with children so much! Being outdoors and doing activities are my favorite thing to do with kids, but I do enjoy some fun art and crafts projects too. On my free time I enjoy sports, movies, and hanging out with my dog.
